Dennis Schröder is playing for bronze with Germany at the European Championships. At club level, the point guard’s future was unclear for a long time – until now: Schröder is returning to the Los Angeles Lakers
At the European Championships, Schröder is currently causing great excitement among German sports fans, even if the final dream at home fluffed on Friday in the 91:96 against Spain. Schröder shone against the Iberians with 30 points and 8 assists and is now targeting the bronze medal with Germany on Sunday.
He can then do so with the conscience that he has found a new club. The 29-year-old returns to the Lakers, signing a one-year contract that will pay him €2.6 million, according to his agent. For Schröder, it is a return to the club where he played in 2020/21, which he left after contract negotiations broke down – he had rejected a four-year offer for 84 million US dollars. He then played for the Boston Celtics and the Houston Rockets, but was unable to secure a long-term contract with the franchises.
So now it’s back to Los Angeles. And this time it should be better, as Schröder himself explained on Instagram. “Last year felt wrong, I felt misunderstood,” the German national team captain wrote and asked for the support of Lakers fans: “I’m coming back to make things right. I will give everything I have every day and hope that LakersNation will support me. It’s an honour to play for the Lakers. “
